Matthew 14:22-36

22Immediately He directed the disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side [of the Sea of Galilee], while He sent the crowds away.

23After He had dismissed the crowds, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When it was evening, He was there alone.

24But the boat [by this time] was already a long distance from land, tossed and battered by the waves; for the wind was against them.

25And in the fourth watch of the night (3:00-6:00 a.m.) Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

26When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear.

27But immediately He spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I! Do not be afraid!”

28Peter replied to Him, “Lord, if it is [really] You, command me to come to You on the water.”

29He said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

30But when he saw [the effects of] the wind, he was frightened, and he began to sink, and he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Immediately Jesus extended His hand and caught him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

32And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

33Then those in the boat worshiped Him [with awe-inspired reverence], saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

34When they had crossed over [the sea], they went ashore at Gennesaret.

35And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word throughout all the surrounding district and brought to Him all who were sick;

36and they begged Him to let them merely touch the fringe of His robe; and all who touched it were perfectly restored.
